How much vacation time?
How much vacation time do you get?<BR><BR>I only get two weeks a year.
|
2+ months in the summer and holidays, but there's a trade-off. I'm a special education teacher, and its not unusual for me to work a 60-70 hour six-day week during the school year.
|
I get 13 holidays, 1 personal day and 4 weeks of vacation OR sick leave. You know, when it's spread out over the year it doesn't seem like that much!
|
I get three weeks of vacation, seven personal days, and the major holidays (Thanksgiving, xmas, New Years, July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day). Sick days as needed.
|
It's not unusual for many people to work 60+ hours per week but most don't get 2+ months off in the summer.
|
My husband has 5 weeks built up, but too many deadlines to take any days off. He even had to go into work on Friday after Thanksgiving, it really sucks.<BR><BR>He often works 60-70hr weeks also, w/o 2 months off.
|
not enough!
|
I have worked here long enough to now get 15 vacation days a year (we all start at 10). I get 7 holidays and 5 sick days. The best part is I can carry over unused days (to a limit) to the next year! So last year I took 5 weeks off...and only 1 week off this year (too damn busy!) <BR><BR>I envy Europeans, who seem to get at least 6 weeks off a year.
|
Yes, but I'll wager that those who work 60+ hours without the 2+ months off have salaries that reflect the extra time spent on the job.
|
<BR>5 weeks that can be rolled over from year to year.<BR>11 paid holidays that I can bank for further use if I work them.<BR>12 sick days a year also able to roll them from year to year<BR>6 PLD (Personal Leave Days) must be used every year or lose em.<BR><BR>PS... I work many 60 or 70 hour weeks. Part of the job so I can really enjoy those days off!
|
To duh! ([email protected])<BR><BR>Are you kidding me? Why should we follow Europe's standard? I think we should all earn benefits from our employers - including how much time we get off.<BR><BR>Otherwise you get a bunch of self-entitled, lazy, unmotivated employees.
|
Oh, and my vacation days are:<BR><BR>3 weeks vacation (accrued throughout the year, and carryoverable)<BR><BR>Byeeee. <BR><BR>-darvy<BR>
|
Teacher: While you may work 60 hours a week (don't all teachers claim that?), average in all the ones who work 35-40 and it's a pretty good job. Many of my neighbors arrive home empty handed at 3:30 every day (that's if they didn't take a "mental health" day).
|
10 Holidays, 21 vacation days, 10 Family/sick days.
|
3 weeks / year<BR>Most work weeks are about 50 hours long.<BR><BR>Wife is a teacher - she's NEVER home before 5:00 pm and starts at 7:00 am. Yes a long summer vacation but a crappy salary.
|
365 days!!! Retired at 57 after working long and hard in retailing. Took my 401k out before the big dip and invested it myself.<BR>Am now 63 and travelling two to three times a year and collecting social security.<BR>Please keep working and paying into social security so I may enjoy life.<BR>Just kidding----You'll get there some day!!!
|
So a bunch of you work for a state agency huh? Most corporations don't give out vacation time like that.
|
Four weeks/year at a nonprofit. Corporations I've worked at varied between 3-4 weeks per year. And I take every single day of it.
|
I get three weeks vacation (one can be carried over), 5 sick days (bankable), the major civic and Christian religious holidays and two floating holidays (same as personal days)<BR><BR>BUT, I also officially am paid for only a 35 hour week<BR><BR>AND, nobody says "boo" when I come in 20 minutes late every morning and leave right at the stroke of 5 in the afternoon. Overtime is just a scary story I read about here<BR><BR>AND, I'm "at work" right now :)<BR><BR>I'll be getting fired soon, I suspect
|
Actually our vacation time is representative of how long we've worked at our jobs. The longer you stay, the more time you get. Both my husband and I get 4 weeks, plus sick and holidays because we've been at our workplaces from more than 15 years.
